The pinnacle of Hong Kong horse racing, the HK Jockey Club hosts their annual Champions Day at Sha Tin Racecourse each year.
The racecard stages three Group 1 contests, the highest accolade in thoroughbred horse racing.
Jockeys, trainers and owners from around the globe flock clamor to compete on one of the biggest stages and claim the Champions Mile, Chairman’s Sprint Prize or Queen Elizabeth II Cup.
The QEII Cup boasts Jim And Tonic, Rulership, Designs On Rome, Irridescence and Eishin Preston among the names on the honour roll.
